shaping students’ character. This research employed a qualitative approach with a case
study type of research. Data collection techniques were conducted through semi-structured
interviews, observation, and documentation. The research informants consisted of the
boarding school caretaker, male and female teachers, and students selected using
purposive sampling techniques. Data analysis techniques used the Miles and Huberman
model, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Data validity

prolonged engagement, and increased persistence. The results of the study indicate that
the leadership communication patterns implemented at Pondok Pesantren Tahfidz Anwar

communication patterns played an important role in shaping students’ character, such as
discipline, responsibility, politeness, religiosity, and respect toward teachers and fellow
students. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that the leadership communication
patterns of the boarding school caretaker have a significant influence on the process of
shaping students’ character. Communication carried out effectively, persuasively, and
